The hunt for John McAfee

Police in the Central American nation of Belize began the hunt for the founder of the software company McAfee Inc. in November. McAfee was a "person of interest" in the slaying of another U.S. citizen, his neighbor in an island town on the Caribbean.

McAfee could not be found, sparking an international manhunt. It was discovered that the eccentric millionaire was hiding in Guatemala after Vice Magazine sent a photo out to the press that held meta data, including McAfee's exact location.

McAfee was arrested by police in Guatemala, but was later released and fled to Miami in December.
